Overview

Major price reduction, owner wants her sold.

Shoot the Breeze is the epitome of the old saying "You get what you pay for." 
The owner of this vessel has stepped up to the plate by taking care of many of the problems that seem to be prevalent in this vintage of IPs.

The owner has spent a considerable amount of money in upgrades and maintenance to include the following: 
New poly holding tank (2018)  
New bottom paint (2018)
New refrigeration 2019 
New 6 volt house batteries (2018) 
New 12 volt closed cell engine starting battery (2018) 
New Garmin chartplotter 
New LED interior lights (2018) 
A 9'6" tender with a new Yamaha 4 stroke 6HP outboard
Newly upholstered cockpit seating
All engine maintenance has been completed on a scheduled basis by Diversified Yacht Services.

An important note on the poly holding tank installation. According to recent conversations on boater's forums there appears to be a problem with IP aluminum holding tanks leaking. The job to replace the holding tank is quite extensive requiring the sole to be cut out and a new tank custom made to fit into the tank space. This problem has been eliminated on Shoot the Breeze as a result of the current owner having a new poly  tank installed by Hinckley Yacht Services at a cost of $13,000.

The 350 fulfills the time-honored Island Packet credo that a real cruising monohull be traditional in appearance, modern in concept and state-of-the-art in its construction and outfitting. 

What you end up with in the 350 is a solid, dependable cutter, put together with care and expertise and developed over time for mainstream cruisers keen on anything from local sailing to long-distance voyaging. There is plenty of storage - plus the payload-carrying ability to use it - and a performance profile that puts a premium on stability, ease of handling and comfort underway.
As Island Packet owners know this vessel is an unparalleled combination of practical cruising features, live-aboard comfort and offshore performance. 
The topside scenario emphasizes practical cruising. The cockpit is safe and secure with good high coamings for ocean work, and the seating is long enough to stretch out on horizontally should you want to sleep there beneath the stars. Safety harness pad eyes are installed at the factory. Primaries are within reasonable reach of the helm, and line bins keep spaghetti under control. The bow with its sturdy sprit is dedicated to anchoring: The hook is simple to store and deploy, the locker is deep, and a prime spot for windlass installation is tooled into the deck. The cutter rig offers a wide range of easy to handle sail combinations, and when you factor in the optional spinnaker package you’re really equipped.
Shoot the Breeze has been maintained by Diversified Yachts and it is equipped with many creature comforts to include refrigeration, a 2000 watt inverter, custom made companionway doors, a full cockpit enclosure with screen in excellent shape and more. Also included is a  transom mounted davit system with a 9' 6" AB RIB dinghy with a 4 stroke Yamaha outboard.

 

Information

Overall layout

Starting at the bow, the integral bowsprit gives an extended base to the sailplan to added sail area and provides for optimum sheeting angles for closed wind performance. Included at the bow are two anchors, a Maxwell windlass, deck up and down foot controls, Harken roller furlings for both the Genoa and Staysail. The mainsail is equipped with a dual, single line reefing system. All primary sail control lines lead aft, allowing routine sail trim and setting/reefing activity from the cockpit. Included are self tailing winches, color coded lines, rope clutches, traveler control lines and coaming line stowage bins making sailing easier and more pleasant.

The well laid out deck offers wide side walkways, raised bulwarks forward, full length continuous cabin top handrails, stainless grab rails, double lifelines and diamond pattern slip resistant deck surfaces.

The cockpit has a full canvas enclosure with screens, has full length contoured seats with new upholstered cushions and a custom made raised helm seat which provides for excellent visibility while underway. Cockpit convenience features include a built in insulated cooler, two large seat lockers, a handheld personal shower that reaches the stern platform, two stern rail seats and a pedestal mounted folding table. A Panda 4.0KW generator in an enclosed soundproof case mounted in the starboard lazarette. Electronics at the helm include a new Garmin 10" chartplotter, autopilot, Tri-data and wind speed indicator all mounted in a POD system. There is also a stern folding swim ladder.

Cabin features include forward and aft staterooms, enclosed head with shower, full galley, a main large salon area with port and starboard seating and a nav station.

Newsworthy belowdecks is the berth treatment in the forward and after staterooms. Doubles in both locations have been pushed up against the sides of the hull "Pullman style" which makes for very creative use of space in what is essentially 35 feet of boat. The arrangement opens up dressing room and storage, and allows for snug sleeping underway with the deployment of lee cloths. The forward quarters feature fore-and-aft bedding, the after quarters athwartship bedding, though the mattress there is big enough to permit fore-and-aft use at sea.

The vessel’s single head is forward on the starboard side with doors both to the saloon and to the stateroom beyond. It is one of those great Island Packet heads, with a friendly wraparound counter that really keeps you on the seat, and a shower that can be curtained off. The main cabin with 6’4" headroom features a longitudinal settee on the port side that turns into a nav station at the after bulkhead, opposed by an L-shaped settee on the starboard side at the dinette. Both of these locations could be used for sleeping if necessary. The galley is tucked in to starboard; it’s a U-shaped element with double sinks and a rather large reefer. Island Packet has provided molded-in LPG storage for two 10-pound tanks beneath the deck just outboard, which allows for a short propane pipe run to the stove

The 350 is designed and built to ABS standards; it’s also CE certified Category A (unrestricted offshore use) for the European market. All of this points to a meticulous, stringent set of construction parameters. The hull is built of solid triaxial fiberglass using vinylester in the outer layers to curb water penetration, then polyester behind that. It is laminated by hand in conjunction with a pressure-fed resin impregnator, and stiffened with an integrated molded-in structural grid. Island Packet’s proprietary gel coating system (PolyClad) allows the company to offer an unprecedented 10-year limited warranty against blistering. The deck is cored with rot-resistant PolyCore foam to retard water penetration; fittings on deck sit atop raised platforms molded into the part and are backed by integral aluminum plates. Typically, attention to detail at the tooling stage is superb and that is why components such as this can be rendered so professionally.

Engine and Mechanical

The mechanical and systems scenario is notable for its clean installation and careful organization. The engine is located beneath the companionway; flexible mounts are carried by a fiberglass grid within which are laminated two 4" by 1/2" by 24" steel bars. It is accessed forward by removing the stair element (an insulated box, really, that gains access to the entire forward two-thirds of the unit), and aft in the stateroom beneath the berth by way of a removable panel. You can get at the oil fill, Raycor filter, secondary filters, starter, stuffing box - virtually everything that needs your regular attention - without becoming uncivil, and the boat’s generous sump allows the bilge to remain flushed and clean. Thru-hulls are hefty bronze units fully flanged; they are labeled with big tags and are easy to find.
The 38HP Yamaha has been maintained on a scheduled basis by Diversified Yacht Services. All service records are available for inspection.
